Abstract
Peptic strictures of the oesophagus may occur rapidly in the elderly. Dilatation of benign oesophageal stricture using a fibre-optic endoscope provides effective and safe treatment. Forty-eight dilatations were performed on 19 patients without significant complications. Swallowing was improved in all patients. The use of cimetidine is described.Entities:
